Contributions to the ECVET consultation

The Commission consulted the countries participating in the Education and Training 2010 work programme, the European social partners, the other European institutions (e.g. the parliamentary committees), the competent European associations, NGOs and networks, the Bologna Follow-Up Group, etc. The ECVET consultation () was launched at the start of November 2006, to end on 31 March 2007.

In many countries, the consultation generated a considerable amount of information work, exchanges and discussions, involving an appreciable number of ministries, institutions, networks, organisations and authorities, and sometimes involving several hundred people. Events (conferences, seminars or workshops) were organised. Institutions and networks operating at European level also organised working meetings in Brussels.
